Depending on your particular circumstances and desires, we will recommend strategies that may include application of the following estate planning tools:

• Wills

• Trusts

• Living Trusts

• Advance Medical Directives, including Living Wills and Health Care Powers of Attorney

• Powers of Attorney

 

Why you need a Will

With a legally valid Will when you pass on, you ensure that your assets are distributed to the people you designate. You also can designate a guardian for any minor children and an executor or personal representative to manage the administration of your estate after your death. Without a valid Will, Pennsylvania dictates distribution.

If your desires change over time, or if you’ve gone through a divorce, you should make a new will or modify it through a codicil. The Wills and Estates Attorneys at Liebmann Family Law work closely with you to ensure your needs are met.

 

Probating an estate

After your loved one passes, it is emotionally difficult to deal with probating his or her estate. Our experienced Estate Attorneys can guide you through the often confusing probate process that involves:

• Proving in Court that your loved one’s Will is valid

• Identifying, inventorying and appraising his or her property

• Paying debts or taxes

• Distributing the property according to the Will

• Transferring asset title and ownership to designated beneficiaries
